Brain stimulation and training to reduce binge eating
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (a safe, non-invasive technique called TMS) and a computer-based training program can help reduce binge eating episodes. Researchers will also look at changes in brain activity using MRI scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 39.9 (a range that includes normal weight and moderate obesity).
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.

This trial tests three levels of psychotherapy (high, medium, and low intensity) to find which works best for binge eating disorder. It aims to help you stop binge episodes and improve your relationship with food.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce overeating. It may help people who struggle with binge eating or strong food cravings.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can help people with anorexia nervosa. The treatment targets brain circuits involved in the disorder, which may reduce symptoms and improve well-being.
This trial uses a type of magnetic brain stimulation to see if it can help people with anorexia nervosa who have not improved with standard outpatient therapy. It aims to change brain activity in a way that may reduce symptoms.
This trial tests if gentle electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) before weight-loss surgery can help you gain better control over your eating habits. It's designed for people with severe obesity who struggle with overeating.
